ArtChix is a group of ten female artists who formed a subgroup of the Sun City Grand Art Club in 2006 to enhance our art display opportunities. We hold weekend shows during the Winter season at the Club studios and will display our individual work here on the blog.
The purpose of this blog is to allow those interested in ArtChix happenings to log on and be informed, and to share more about happenings with our ArtChix members....Blog Administrator - Susan Roper

Art Chix Show

Friends gather at ArtChix Shows

Upcoming ArtChix Art Shows - Join us for another fun season at Sun City Grand Art Club!

At the ArtChix show/sale this past weekend one of the ArtChix, Madeline Ledzinski, dropped by to practice her caricature skills by drawing caricatures of four of us. Those who know us will recognize Sharon King, Barbara Lang, Ruth Malins and me, Susan Roper from these fun drawings. The most difficult part of sitting for these portraits was to stop talking long enough for Madeline to get the facial features correctly.

The ArtChix are holding an art show/sale this weekend, with seven artists participating. I have received photos of four of these artists from the Sun City Grand Art Club's Historian, Jim Greenwald. The artists shown here are: Diane Eason, Susan Roper, Norma Miller and Ruth Malins. When I receive the photos of the others I will add them here. It was a beautiful day to be strolling through an art show!

I, as the ArtChix Blog Mistress, have set up another important art blog for the Vanguard Artists.We are a group of artists in the West Valley and disprove the fact that good art begins and ends at Central Avenue and is to be found only in the East Valley (Scottsdale) area. There are many lifelong artists in this group and their rich and varied art experience shows in their magnificent work.

There are slideshows of some of the individual artists' work, and this sidebar feature is being developed more as we speak. Do stop by and have a look at: http://vanguardartists.blogspot.com/, we'd love to hear from you!

Be sure to mark your calendar for the next ArtChix sale. It will be Saturday and Sunday, March 21 and 22. The participating artists are working hard producing great art for display and sale. I hear tell that there will be some lovely new pieces of Artisan Jewelry available as well.

Artisan Jewelry is a new art media offered through the Sun City Grand Art Club and involves the sculpting of wire to produce jewelry and to enhance objects. Come and see what we are up to now!
